Soundscape descriptors and a conceptual framework for developing predictive soundscape models

TL;DR: In this paper, the main soundscape descriptors in the soundscape literature are reviewed and analyzed, and a conceptual framework for developing predictive models in soundscape studies is provided, which provides a means of predicting the value of a soundscape descriptor, and the blueprint for how to design soundscape.

Ten questions on the soundscapes of the built environment

TL;DR: Soundscape research represents a paradigm shift from noise control policies towards a new multidisciplinary approach as it involves not only physical measurements but also the cooperation of humanity and social sciences to account for the diversity of soundscapes across countries and cultures, with more focus on how people actually experience the acoustic environments; and it considers environmental sounds as a "resource" rather than a "waste" as mentioned in this paper.

Participatory noise mapping works! An evaluation of participatory sensing as an alternative to standard techniques for environmental monitoring

TL;DR: This paper provides concrete proof that participatory techniques, when implemented properly, can achieve the same accuracy as standard noise mapping techniques through a citizen science experiment for noise mapping a 1 km2 area in the city of Antwerp using NoiseTube.
